I Don't Feel At home in this world anymore film review. Film Science,
XYZ Films, directed by Macon Blair. Distribution by Netflix. Running
time 96 minutes.

This film was mentioned in a top ten films of this year, and being on Netflix for a while did not know what to make of it, but I gave it a go last night and it is brilliant.

A strange film about a woman, Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) who just wants things to be right, feeling angry with the modern world, after a break in at her house, with her laptop, some family silver, and some prescription medication going missing, she first reports the break-in to police, who seem unhelpful, and tell her things can be replaced. She is given a crime number for her insurance and that is that, with a chance meeting with her karate obsessed neighbour, Tony (Elijah Wood) who has a mighty collection of ninja stuff, throwing stars, numshucks, she traces her laptop through a find my stuff app on her phone, locates the address.

Ruth and Tony go to the house and demands the person who stole her laptop to give it back, this leads to a violent confrontation, that she actually enjoys.

With a tip off that her family silver is at a local pawn shop, she retrieves them only to bump into the actual criminal who did steal her stuff, this leads to an uncomfortable confrontation with a local gang, that eventually leads to even more violence and bloodshed.

In a way over your head situation, that arrived from Absolutley nowhere is why this film is so good, it kinda reminded me a little of True Ronance, a film that out of nowhere became an massive blood mess of violence and depravity, just because Clarance took the wrong suitcase.

I got the same feeling from this film, a woman just wanting her stuff back, and hates being wronged, that gets into more trouble than she has to, but still carries on with it, as it is still morally right, to reclaim her belongings back from those who took them.

Even though she is putting her life in danger in the mean time, that leads to many deaths, and a possible arrest for vigilantism, for going outside the law.

When one of the bad guys asks her why she is doing this she says " I want people to stop being less arseholes" in other words a woman trying to put the world right.

With the first and second third being strangely funny, with a charming wit to it, that changes into full bloody mayhem, with body parts flying in the final third, a film that suddenly becomes so shocking so quickly with absolutely no warning.

A brilliant film by director Macon Blair On his debut, who has previously been involved in Blue Ruin, and the excellent Green Room.

A brilliant movie, that is a shame is a Netflix exclusive as more people deserve to see this great movie

I came across this trailer on YouTube yesterday, and it is doing the rounds again on social media, a trailer first showing in 2015, that got everyone talking " is this for real" " this can not be a film can it?" As it turns out no, it is a trailer that is well made, but certainly is not going to be a film anytime soon.
A one joke trailer about a randy ghost intent on jerking men off, using handjobs, I'm surprised the tag line wasn't "Cumming soon".
This was obviously made by men with a running narrative that women cannot give a decent handjob, and having them do the deed is worse than death, instead you have a ghost who wants to jerk all men to death.
It is as awful as you'd expect it to be, but I still found myself chuckle a few times, it is rude, crude, insinuating, and in fairness harmless fun, a film if made I would actually probably watch, it certainly looks better than the recent Cabin Fever, Evil Dead 2013.

Tree is about to have a very bad day, again, and again and again.
College Grad Tree, a self centred bitch, who you take an instant dislike to, who is foul to everyone.
Treats everyone like dirt, then wonders why someone would want her dead. With a groundhog Day loop thing going on every time she is murdered she has to live through the same Monday the 18th, until she can find out her wants her dead, solve her own murder, and maybe become a better person in the mean time.The thing is I really wanted to hate this movie, but I couldn't, because of the performance from Jessica Rothe as Tree, in her first scream queen role, starring previously in La La Land, and Netflix's Parallels.
She is so likeable and believable in the role, although playing the bitch perfectly, she is deep down a damaged soul, still mourning the death of her mother, and her grief is her anger towards fellow People.
With some inventive kills, and no matter what Tree does, the day always ends in her death, with …

A film that strangely has been long forgotten, from 1980, and a film that has no mention about any remake or reboot. That is how this good film has been left on the shelf, compared to other slashers of that decade. Strange as it has possibly the best onscreen kills, with amazing practical effects from Gore master Tom Savini.

Plot summary;
A jilted soldier returns home from world war 2, hearing just before that his girlfriend has replaced him with another man. At the graduation ball of 1945, Rosemary is brutally slain alongside her new boyfriend. Shocking the town, that another ball has been postponed for 35 years. It is now 1980 the ball has been agreed once more, and the jilted soldier is not happy and decides to slay the party goers once more.

Formally known as the Prowler especially in the States, but changed to Rosemary's Killer in the UK. The film apart from the great Gore effects is quite average though, and probably why it has never been remade. With the jilted soldier in…
